The ship was always clean. The main theater is a little small and the Atrium is not open like the older ships so it doesn’t look as nice.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5

We did a tour from the port hit a few attractions on the island and finished with a sunset swim at Eagle beach. It was only $30 per person we got on the bus at the port as soon as we got off the ship. It was not through Carnival.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5

The ship had mechanical problems on the way back to port causing us to be 4 hours late. That caused a lot of issues for the crew and guest trying to get off the ship.
